Donovan Mitchell has accumulated 2.5 personal fouls per game while on the road this year, putting him in the 82nd percentile -- among the NBA's highest-fouling.The Cleveland Cavaliers have played at the 3rd-slowest pace-of-play in the league over the last 25 games when playing away from home.The Hawks have played at the 9th-most lethargic pace-of-play in the league over the last 5 games, which should lead to decreased opportunities for the Cavaliers.While at home, the Hawks have given up the 3rd-most offensive rebounds per game (12.6) in the NBA to opposing clubs over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore produce added opportunities for scoring and assists).Donovan Mitchell will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing away from your home court generally worsens player production across the board.
